Undertaking a multi-million dollar building and landscaping renovation, the most important thing to us on the strata committee was to find someone in sync. with what we were trying to achieve and in tune with the whole project. The landscaping was just one part of the major project with so many other contractors to co-ordinate. It was a unanimous decision to employ Ray as we could see his passion for all his landscaping and other major strata projects and we trusted him. We immediately decided to use RB Kanangra Landscapes for all ongoing maintenance.

Ray supervised the contractors putting in the irrigation and getting access to site. The key thing with builders is to work well with them. Everybody loves Ray. I would be surprised if he didn’t get other jobs through working with all the people there. Ray's staff made sure the tenants weren't inconvenienced in any way and Ray always did things when he said he would, even meeting us at 6.30am and weekends if that was the only time we were available.

What we found could be grouped into 3 main areas:1. The recommendations he makes are in the best interest of the client. He doesn’t just churn out the same ideas time and again. Ray takes on board what you want to achieve and comes up with a bespoke solution.2. Ray keeps an awareness of budget and costs top of mind, offering cheaper options where necessary and kept us informed at every stage so there were no surprises. 3. I just feel you can trust him implicitly. If anything else needed to be done there was no hesitation in agreeing as we knew it would be worth it and very reasonable.

Since the job was finished we have had extremely positive comments. The plants have settled in and grown and also look amazing at night as Ray coordinated with the lighting plans. His attention to detail even ran to measuring plant heights across the different areas and promptly rescuing our older, ailing plants.

From a strata perspective you will get immense value for money out of Ray which is critical for strata. He works well with all parties and what he does takes into account costs, other contractors and tenants. I defy anyone to do a better job in terms of what they deliver and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.David Blacklock - Strata Director, Alexandria Units
